Frostweed is the greatest plant. It is easy to grow from seeds in the shade or sun; and provides a large green leafy foilage with white blossoms in the fall. The bees and butterflies flock to it. I cut it back early in the year if I don't want a tall plant, and it bounces back quickly.

It is also a host plant, I will post more about it under the host plant section later.

Oh yeah Cat! It would actually do alright down there... I probably have some I can dig up and send you in a month or so. Remind me.
Here is a pic with some at the WRES garden, see it over on the left. It's a late bloomer, this was taken in September last year.

Josephine~ Can you tell me what the large leafed plant in the middle is? Haven't seen it bloom yet, but it leafs out nicely. Its the low one with 3 pointed mitten-like leaves.
